1955 The Contest 4
At the start, he cast a cold gaze towards Gu Chaoyan, who shielded herself with the white jade sword.
Gu Chaoyan had experienced relative ease throughout the contest, but it was clear that Mu Weiran posed a formidable challenge. Mu Weiran was nearly on par with a Great Warrior, and Gu Chaoyan had no clear understanding of her current strength.
A beam of light descended, catching Gu Chaoyan off guard. She took a hit, injuring her arm.
Seeing the blood, Mu Weiran's excitement grew.
She was determined to defeat Gu Chaoyan.
Mu Weiran exerted her full magical power, pressing down on Gu Chaoyan and forcing her to the ground. Gu Chaoyan struggled to resist the overwhelming force, but it continued to bear down on her.
If Gu Chaoyan hadn't resisted, she might have suffered further injuries.

Mu Weiran toppled to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
She hadn't expected Gu Chaoyan to withstand her assault. That was why she hadn't ceased in time.
Mu Weiran, the one who had lost.
Lost the Golden Rolls?
Mu Weiran clenched his fists tightly, completely stunned.
Gu Chaoyan, too, felt weak after expending her magical power.
They had barely surpassed Mu Weiran and emerged victorious.
Internally, Gu Chaoyan trembled.
Nevertheless…
She gathered her strength, forcing herself to stand and approached them with the air of a triumphant winner. Instead of going towards Mu Weiran, she halted in front of Zhao Dier and spoke icily, "If I recall correctly, Lady Dier, you mentioned that if I, Gu Chaoyan, were to win, you would serve me as my attendant."
Zhao Dier hadn't anticipated that Gu Chaoyan would bring this up in this moment. She felt both embarrassed and enraged, about to retort…
But Gu Chaoyan continued, "However, I have no need for someone like you. Find someone else."
With those words spoken, Gu Chaoyan calmly proceeded towards the Xuantian Sect.
Zhao Dier was beyond irritating. Gu Chaoyan wouldn't let this opportunity to put her in her place slip away.
As for Mu Weiran…
Victory or defeat was a trivial matter.
She had no intention of concerning herself with Mu Weiran.
"If I emerge victorious, what about the Golden Rolls and the Heaven Slaying Sword?" Gu Chaoyan inquired.
The Head of the Xuantian Faction wore a smile.

She had already secured the victory. In addition to the Golden Rolls, she had also expressed her interest in the Heaven Slaying Sword.
Everyone present was fixated on the Golden Rolls alone.
The Head of the Xuantian Sect instructed someone to bring the box to him.
He then opened the box in full view of everyone.
Revealing the Golden Rolls to the assembled crowd, he stated, "As promised by my Xuantian Sect, the winner shall receive the Golden Rolls and the Heaven Slaying Sword. Today, we fulfill our commitment and present the Golden Rolls and the Heaven Slaying Sword."
"…."
"However, there is one matter I must clarify."
"…"
"We possess only a single piece of the Golden Rolls, and we remain unaware of the whereabouts of the remaining fragments. Moreover, we have no intention of involving ourselves in any of these matters. Henceforth, we shall close the sect."
"A fragment?" Gu Chaoyan gazed at the box in utter disbelief.
